With
the rising concern of toxic BPA in Plastics, it is
perhaps wiser to steer clear of plastic pots, especially when
the whole purpose of Neti is to detoxify the sinuses and clear
it of infections. It is true plastics are cheaper, but plastics
are also more prone to leeching of chemicals especially in warm
liquids which is what your neti solution is – warm saline water.
Salt sedimentation on the plastic surfaces can also be that much
more difficult to clean, threatening the hygiene aspect so vital
to have.
The other material, Ceramic, is
certainly a softer and pleasing material, but it suffers from
the drawback of being fragile – a big drawback for this wet
process, small in size and most importantly, not having a
tapering nose tip which is crucial for nostril support.
Stainless Steel is non-toxic and the
preferred choice in medical applications to this date. Also, for
reasons highlighted in the SteloKleen, it makes a wonderful
material for neti pots.
